Kibtisk Notions

This is where you can find the various Kibtisk Notions outlined. These Notions are the set of concepts which form the life-philosophy of the Kibtisk Way.

The Kibtisk Way is expressed and enhanced by the Kibtisk conlang and so you may run into some foreign words as you go through. Don't let that phase you though, as definitions and explanations are given whenever a new Notion is introduced, and there is a Glossary for future reference in case you take time to mull some of it over, as well as mini-glossaries for when a paragraph gets a bit much.

Below you can click on the buttons to guide you to the Notions. Each page is a brief explanation of each Notion: a definition, the etymology of the Kibtisk word, and an explanation of the Notion's part to play in the wider Kibtisk Way.

The Kibtisk Way may take a while to understand, and so you can keep coming back to this page again and again as you chew it all over. If you're unsure where to start, we've broken down the Notions for you to follow as a guide:

• The Principles: these are the founding ideas of the Kibtisk Way and serve as a good starting place. There are three of them: yürna (life-journey), vywe (the flow), and baden (the cycle).

• The Four Core Notions: these are the concepts which are central to the Kibtisk Way. They interact with each other and the Three Principles constantly, forming the web of ideas which is the Kibtisk Way. They are: ardt (the soul), vitre (spirituality), ihre (presence), and vira (the home).

• Virtues: These are the concepts which are resultative of the Practices of the Kibtisk Way, which are simply the Core Notions and Baden Principle in practice. Unlike the other two groups above, this list is not exhaustive, but is constantly growing as the Kibtisk Way is practised more and more. So far the list consists of zeva (graciousness) and ihra (stillness).
